I apologize - he wasn't very good at explaining to me what he needed
to know: 
    He has an Epson FX86E printer, and knows one version of the codes,
but he doesn't know which form (hex, octal, etc) should be used in the
C program, and he doesn't know whether straight conversion from one
system to another is possible. He needs examples of source code that
show the proper programming syntax for using the escape codes, and how
exactly to convert codes, if it's needed. He says he can get some of
them to work in hex, others work in octal, some don't work in either,
and he's not sure if it's the codes that are wrong or (more likely)
the syntax he's using works with some codes and not others. Thanks again,
